Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wire saw for severing wafers from a workpiece, in particular for severing semiconductor wafers from rod-shaped or block-shaped semiconductor material.
  • the invention also relates to a sawing method in which a wire saw according to the invention is used.
  • the feed device effects a relative movement of the wire sections and the workpiece running perpendicular to the axes of rotation of the wire guide rollers in guide grooves.
  • a material-removing sawing aid which is also referred to as "slurry”
  • the wire sections work through the workpiece with the formation of parallel sawing gaps.
  • feed devices are known with which the workpiece is guided against the stationary wire frame, as well as those with which the saw head of the wire saw is guided against the stationary workpiece.
  • several wire frames of a wire saw can also be used to machine several workpieces at the same time.
  • EP-433 956 A1 for example, a wire saw is described with which two workpieces can be sawed simultaneously.
  • each sawn semiconductor wafer has side surfaces which are as flat as possible and are located opposite one another in parallel.
  • the so-called "warp" of the slices is a known measure of the deviation of the actual slice shape from the ideal shape aimed for. As a rule, the "warp" must not exceed a few ⁇ m.
  • Each wire section of the wire frame should therefore ideally be in the flat cutting surface provided for it at any time during the sawing process.
  • the intended cutting surfaces are imaginary surfaces lying parallel to one another, which cross the workpiece and between which the semiconductor wafers to be separated from the workpiece are located.
  • any movement of the wire sections across the intended cutting surfaces has with the result that the shape (geometry) of the semiconductor wafers produced will deviate from the target.
  • the causes that lead to a misalignment of the wire sections in relation to the intended cutting surfaces include, in particular, cutting forces occurring during sawing, which deflect the wire sections from the desired position, axial displacements of the wire guide rollers due to thermal expansion as a result of the heating of the drive of the wire guide rollers, the bearings of the wire guide rollers and the wire guide rollers themselves, and bearing play as a result of the continuous stress on the bearings over a period of a few hours for a sawing operation.
  • the feed device is also a source of error if the feed guide is not manufactured with sufficient precision or if cutting forces cause the feed frame to spring open. In both of the last-mentioned cases, the workpiece is moved transversely to the intended cutting surfaces, which de facto also leads to the wire sections being outside the intended cutting surfaces.
  • the machine frame and the load-bearing parts of the feed device and the saw head are generally designed as heavy and mechanically stable parts, temperature control devices also being provided for their thermal stabilization.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a wire saw and a sawing method with which, in particular, semiconductor wafers with improved geometric quality can be produced.
  • a wire saw for cutting discs from a workpiece with a machine frame, with a feed device, with a roller system combined to form a saw head, consisting of several wire guide rollers, which are connected to bearing spindles and are rotatably supported and at least one of which is driven, and with at least one wire frame used as a sawing tool made of wire sections arranged parallel between two wire guide rollers and perpendicular to the axes of the wire guide rollers are moved around the roller system and work with the aid of the feed device, with the supply of abrasive means and with the formation of a plurality of parallel saw gaps, along the provided cutting surfaces through the workpiece, characterized by a tracking system for tracking the wire sections into the intended cutting surfaces, with at least one measuring device and at least one adjusting device, the measuring device showing an incorrect position of the wire sections in relation to the intended cutting surfaces by measurements of the Distance to a measuring location is determined, the spatial position of which depends on the incorrect position of the wire sections, and the actuating device by
  • a method for separating disks from a workpiece with the aid of a wire saw which is characterized in that an incorrect position of the wire sections in relation to the intended cutting surfaces is determined with the aid of a measuring device by the distance to a measuring location is measured, the spatial position of which is dependent on the incorrect position of the wire sections, and in the event of a deviation of the measured distance from a desired distance, a compensating movement of the wire sections with the aid of an adjusting device or the workpiece is brought, which brings the wire sections into the intended cutting surfaces.
  • a basic idea of the present invention is that movements of the wire sections or of the workpiece, which lead to incorrect positions of the wire sections in relation to the intended cutting surfaces, are determined and compensated for.
  • wire sections get out of the intended cutting surfaces particularly due to heat-induced axial movements of the bearing spindles of the wire guide rollers of the wire frame or the wire guide rollers of the wire frame or due to bearing play.
  • Each of the wire guide rollers of the wire frame is mounted on one side in a fixed bearing and on the opposite side in a floating bearing. When a wire guide roller is heated, it extends from the side of the fixed bearing to the side of the floating bearing. The wire sections that are closer to the fixed bearing move less than the wire sections closer to the floating bearing.
  • movements of the wire sections transverse to the intended cutting surfaces are determined by observing changes in the axial position of the wire guide rollers of the wire frame or their bearing spindles.
  • the amount and direction of a change in position is determined using a distance measurement. It is particularly preferred to determine the changes in position of a wire guide roller of the wire frame in the axial center thereof.
  • the measurement at this point of a wire guide roller provides a very precise, average value for the misalignment of the wire sections in relation to the intended cutting surfaces.
  • a similarly accurate estimate of the misalignment of the wire sections can be obtained by observing changes in the axial position of locations on the axis of the wire guide roller or its bearing spindle, which are at or almost at the level of the first and last wire section of the wire frame.
  • the change in position of a location at the level of the first and the change in location of a location at the level of the last wire section of the wire guide roller is measured and averaged.
  • the resulting measured value shows how far the wire sections have left the intended cutting surfaces on average.
  • only the axial change in position of a location at the level of the first wire section or only the axial change in position of a location at the level of the last wire section or only the axial change in position of the shaft mirror of the bearing spindle can be used.
  • the invention proposes to move the measuring location dependent on axial movements of the wire guide rollers or their bearing spindles onto the surface of a special measuring element.
  • this measuring element is connected to one of the preferred locations mentioned on the axis of the wire guide roller or its bearing spindle, so that any change in position of this location is noticeable by a change in position of the same name of the measuring location.
  • This measuring location on the surface of the measuring element must be easily accessible for distance measurements.
  • the distance from a stationary measuring device to the measuring location is measured.
  • the measuring device is preferably located on the machine frame or is connected to it. Suitable measuring devices are known devices for measuring distance based on an optical, hydraulic, pneumatic, capacitive or inductive measuring principle.
  • the requirement of good accessibility of the measuring location can be met, for example, by the measuring element extending close to the measuring head of the measuring device.
  • a measuring device with an elongated measuring head for example a measuring rod, can be provided, which is brought close to the measuring location and at the tip of which is the sensor measuring the distance.
  • Movements of the workpiece transverse to the intended cutting surfaces are determined by measuring the distance from a measuring device to a measuring location, the spatial position of which is dependent on corresponding movements of the workpiece.
  • the measuring location is preferably on the workpiece, the workpiece holder, for example on the feed housing, or on measuring elements which are connected to the workpiece or the workpiece holder.
  • the amount of misalignment of the wire sections corresponds to the amount of the measured change in distance before and after the movement of the workpiece.
  • suitable measuring devices are also measuring devices which determine the distance to the measuring location by mechanical scanning.
  • Any deviation of the distance determined by a measuring device from a target distance indicates an incorrect position of the wire sections in relation to the intended cutting surfaces.
  • the nominal distance is the distance that is measured when the wire sections are in the intended cutting surfaces are located.
  • Detected deviations of the measured distance from the target distance are transmitted to an actuating device which brings about a compensatory movement of the wire sections or the workpiece.
  • the wire sections are brought into the intended cutting surfaces by the compensating movement.
  • Suitable actuators are known and include, for example, piezoelectric translators, thermal rods and hydraulic, pneumatic, magnetic or mechanical actuators.
  • an adjusting device is provided for each wire guide roller of a wire gate used as a sawing tool, so that each of the wire guide rollers can be caused to perform a compensating movement independently of the other wire guide roller.
  • the saw head does not have to be moved.
  • only one adjusting device is provided with which a compensating movement of the workpiece, the housing of the feed device or the saw head can be brought about.
  • the tracking system can be used to compensate for the movement of a wire guide roller of the wire frame or by counter-rotating Compensating movements of both wire guide rollers of the wire frame bring about a certain orientation of the wire sections with respect to the workpiece.
  • This is of great use, for example, if the workpiece is a crystal rod made of semiconductor material and the intended cutting surfaces are intended to cross the crystal lattice at a certain angle. So that the respective adjusting device can initiate the required compensating movement of the wire guide roller, a target distance must be specified which corresponds to the desired orientation of the wire sections.
  • the goal can also be to produce disks with parallel side faces, the profile of which, however, is not straight, but deviates from a straight line in a predetermined manner, for example curved , wavy or stepped appears.
  • the tracking system of the wire saw enables such specially shaped discs to be manufactured with high precision.
  • the desired distance is intentionally changed during the sawing process in such a way that the actuating device causes the workpiece or the wire sections to make a compensating movement, which brings the wire sections into the intended, in this case non-flat cutting surfaces.
  • the tracking system can be used at the end of a sawing operation after the feed movement has ended to cause the wire sections to move sideways. This makes sense if the wire sections have already penetrated the bar of the workpiece holder on which the workpiece was fixed. Due to the sideways movement, which must at least correspond to the path length between two wire sections, the disks are separated from the rest of the workpiece holder. The loose ones Disks can then be picked up from a provided transport tray.
  • Another advantage of the tracking system is that bearing play, which occurs due to wear of the bearing spindles, can be recognized and remedied at an early stage.
  • the roller system shown in Figure 1 consists of four wire guide rollers 14, around which a finite wire is wound. Between each two wire guide rollers is a wire gate 13, which is formed by a plurality of wire sections arranged in parallel. An arrow indicates that a rod-shaped workpiece 10 is moved against a wire gate 13a used as a sawing tool.
